Joanne Jacobs - A bag of dirt A Missouri first grader was given "in-school suspension" for two days as punishment for giving a friend a plastic bag filled with playground dirt, rocks and clover. A teacher and the principal thought it was marijuana. When they discovered otherwise, they called it a "look-alike drug." It all started when Michaela Boyd, 6, found a plastic bag on the playground during recess. Heartland News reports: After finding the bag much like the one disposable utensils come in, Michaela says she decided to make her friend a bag of goodies, "They said what did you make this out of. and what did you tell them. I said out of dirt. And what else. I made it with rocks, clover and dirt." . . . Michaela says, "They said it was kind of a drug. I don't know what they are I only see cigarettes. That's all I say." Innocence is no excuse. The suspension will go on the little girl's school recordhttp://www.kfvs12.com/Global/story.asp?S=2919630
